My '24 has been plagued with technological bugs. It can't be fixed because it never acts up at the dealer.
1. When starting and driving, sometimes the radio won't start playing for like 15 minutes. No rhyme or reason, it just starts playing all by itself.
2. The car will only connect to Bluetooth when it wants to, and only when it wants to. It'll stay connected for days, then one day it just disconnects and will not reconnect for anything. Then one day, all by itself, it reconnects.
3. "key not detected" while driving several times. Battery in fob has been replaced 3 times. No "low Battery" indicator in the display. Still does it to this day.
4. Sometimes when exiting the car, the drivers' door won't lock with the touch sensor. Keep trying dozens of times. Move key closer to sensor, won't lock. You have to open the door and then close it again before the sensor works.

This is our 7th new Lexus. Never had any of these issues with any of our previous cars. It's just a technology cluster F.

Bummer indeed. If multiple systems are affected, that sounds like a disruption on the vehicle's internal network. Since many of the modules are networked together, any individual flaky module can disrupt network communications between other modules. Replace one, fix all. The hard part is trying to find the exact cause when the issue is intermittent. If this is the cause, usually a mechanic with a good scan tool will graph the network voltage (basically, looking at the voltage waveform to see the 1s and 0s of the various modules communicating on the network). If a module is flaky, the waveform will be disrupted. Troubleshooting then becomes a case of selectively removing modules from the network until the waveform reverts to normal. But with an intermittent issue. it all is just a giant guess if the problem isn't actively occurring. .
